I am getting two errors

1. weibo extractor is failing with unknown error at first
2. failing to open my archive

[AdamSaketume26]

also the meta data for for the media is not working when i do --mtime-from-date it saves the date at the same time i downloaded them and it doesnt make it so it uses the date they were posted

[weibo][error] "unknown error"

tabtype=home feeds are broken on Weibo. Just remove it from your include list.

archive-prefix="[{category}] {user[status[user][screen_name]]} ({status[user][id]})"

Try [{category}] {status[user][screen_name]} ({status[user][id]})

not working when i do --mtime-from-date

For weibo, --mtime-from-date doesn't work out of the box.
You need to set value to "{status[date]}", see #2721 and #2739.

--postprocessor-option value="{status[date]}"

[AdamSaketume26]

removing home feed and changing archive prefix worked thank you
but using post processor still did not work and still makes both date created and modified to the date and time it downloaded

gallery-dl --download-archive weibo_archive -o extractor.weibo.archive-prefix="[{category}] {status[user][screen_name]} ({status[user][id]})" -o extractor.weibo.archive-format="{subcategory}_{status[mblogid]}_{filename}" -o extractor.weibo.skip="false" -o extractor.weibo.include="videos" -o extractor.weibo.directory=[\"{subcategory}\"] -o extractor.weibo.sleep-request="0-1" --mtime-from-date --postprocessor-option value="status[date]" --verbose https://weibo.com/u/3540182725

i only did newvideo feed to test to see if it works properly since there is only few media to download. it doesnt work

[AdamSaketume26]

fixed by using {status[date]} for value
